For anyone interested in retiring of living in Costa Rica, you will be pleased to know there are 100s of interesting activities from which to choose to keep you busy and happy. For example, most recently the Hotel Tabacón Resort was awarded a prize for being the most outstanding international spa by the prestigous Condé Nast Magazine.

If you move to Costa Rica you can visit this resort and explore the surrounding area. The resort is situated at the foot of the Arenal Volcano. Underground heat from the volcano warms the water which feeds the Tabacon’s natural hot springs. You can also access the hot springs without going to the resort. There are more affordable hotels in the area where you can also bath in the warm volcanic waters.

Nearby Lake Arenal is another place to visit in the area. The town of Fortuna with its spectacular waterfall is also worth checking out.

On my combination beach and central valley relocation tour my clients experience the beauty of the Dominical area which really has to be seen to be believed. The area is reminiscent of a tropical Big Sur where the mountains meet the sea. Photos cannot do this place justice.

Costa Rica is a small but big country because there is so much to see. The Tabacón/Arenal and Dominical areas are just a couple of the many places to visit as you explore this magical country during your retirement. You have absolutely no reason to be bored unless you are just plain lazy.
